I understand that you and my mothers have quite the attachment to sexual intimacy. I am prepared to see and hear much worse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon grimaced as he scratched his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sex wasn't really an uncomfortable topic in his home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a natural, healthy part of life for most biological species across the multiverse and he didn't shy away from the topic if his kids had questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless they were still actual kids that is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until his kids grew into their adult forms, he absolutely refused to engage in the conversation with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anytime Courtney tried to ask him anything inappropriate, he had to distract her with coffee cake or ice cream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gabbrielle was probably the only exception to this, as she routinely entered her young form so that she could receive affection from other members in the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yes, well your mothers and I will be extra careful to never cross that line around you all. No matter how in love we are, we want to be mindful of you and your siblings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon noticed that Bashenga had fallen silent and he turned to check on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to find his son staring at him with those uncanny swirling red eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was clearly on his mind, but he had yet to voice it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…What? Wondering if you'll be this handsome one day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He attempted to joke, but Bashenga was relatively unamused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can you say things like that? Why do you act this way?\" Bashenga inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't understand?\" Abaddon tilted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human. Soft. Full of sentiment and a sense of morality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh…\" Abaddon scratched the back of his head and shrugged. \"I suppose the answer is just because I like myself better his way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Come again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Having a cruel personality is… bottomless. I would always be looking for the next person to step on to feed my ego. Being like this is significantly less work, don't you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon smiled like a big idiot and Bashenga was left dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father had basically just told him that the only reason why he wasn't a reality eating conqueror was because he was too lazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely no one in the world would have believed that explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for Bash who had been told stories about his father and mothers spending almost thirty hours in bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragons are creatures of habit after all…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Bashenga's reaction only made Abaddon laugh hard. He patted his son on the head as he stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Worry not, my boy. You'll undergo the same metamorphosis as I did one day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I refuse.\" The newborn denied instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon smiled wryly and reminded his son of a very crucial fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're part incubus now, Bashenga. You will begin to feel and understand emotion in a way that you were never aware of before. Though it will be up to you what you do with that understanding… I hope you make the right choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"… So what would you have me do with it, father?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Learn from it. Experience it. Don't try to control it, or use your understanding to manipulate others. Just be happy and curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life, especially one that doesn't end like ours, is only worth living if you try a bit of everything. Nyx can tell you that better than I can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon went to the far side of the room and grabbed two weapons that were hanging on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large greatsword, and a spear. Both comprised of his hate and his scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here. For you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon tossed both of the weapons towards his son and Bash easily caught them despite his small frame. \"This..?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll teach you to use them when I get back.\" Abaddon promised. \"Ironically, I think it might help with your anger issues.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bashenga saw his father start to walk towards the door and he realized he was running out of time to say what he wanted to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tossing aside his pride, he lowered his head and called out to his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is… something that I wanted to say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon paused just shy of exiting the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About everything that I said last night… I wish to apologize if I have said anything that might have brought back unpleasant memories for you. It was not intended.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon was a bit floored that Bashenga seemed to know everything already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only assume that this had something to do with him showing up with Thea earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine, Bash, I'm not upset at all. Truthfully, it is my fault for becoming short with you over my own past issues. You have my apology as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bash was instantly frozen up and stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this it??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the interaction he had been stressing himself over all night long and a few hours into the morning??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was nothing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where was all of the drama he thought was coming his way? He could have done this in his sleep if he knew it was going to be like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Knock, Knock!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asmodeus suddenly knocked on the doorframe to catch the attention of the two dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon never quite got used to seeing his father act with professionalism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It would seem it is.\" He smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon walked down the steps to his home with Asmodeus at his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Already downstairs waiting for him were his wives, his mothers, and Kanami.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And more surprisingly…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't recall that you work for me anymore?\" Abaddon joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline smiled as she lowered her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luckily, my new boss has given me permission to join the mission at my old posting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon glanced at Courtney who stood in the corner behind Lisa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I expect her back in the same condition that you got her in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will do, little miss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Courtney nodded and showed her father an extremely improper salute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against the wall, Sif was continually gripping the shaft of her weapon nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had referred to her usual nine foot jotunn state, which only made her nervousness stand out even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'!' She all but jumped out of her skin when she felt a familiar hand suddenly grab her butt from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking over her shoulder, she found Lailah making a shushing gesture and smiling at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I was only trying to loosen you up. You're so stiff that it's a little bit concerning, you know?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Lailah's teasing, Sif didn't show any signs of relaxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I've never… fought beside him before. I'm honestly a bit worried about being able to keep up… isn't that something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I've fought all my life in Jotunheim, but now is the time for me to experience performance anxiety.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lailah chucked quietly to herself as she rested her hand on Sif's arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'You don't need to worry about fighting to impress him, or about keeping up with him. Just focus on surviving, and getting our daughter back.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sif's mind still looked unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which honestly bothered Lailah more than she cared to admit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Sister, if you're worried then why didn't you accept-'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Shall we go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon opened up a swirling portal in the center of the foyer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kanami jumped inside first. Followed by Asmodeus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seras and Lillian came to Abaddon's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before they all jumped in together, they paused and waited for their one missing piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cold feet, love?\" Seras smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that another of your ice giant puns..?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe a bit. Did you enjoy it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sif rolled her eyes as an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon held out his hand for his wife and waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Together. As one.\" He smiled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't rush Sif to come to him, but instead let her take her time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And though it did take her a moment to get her bearings, she eventually swallowed her nerves and took her husband's outstretched hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together, she, Seras, Lillian, and Abaddon all jumped into hell together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucifer was busy reading an ancient text.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though 'busy' was a bit of a stretch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had read this text nearly 3,000 times already. And counting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this variation of hell wasn't one that he could so easily escape from. Which made methods of entertainment hard to come by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could watch the antics of some of his variants, but really, was there even a point?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't feel the excitement that they did, just knew that they were experiencing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like they couldn't feel what he did whenever he had sex with one of his brides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this was an unfair way to ensure that no one variant grew too envious of what another had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't really work though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Rattle.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quiet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the silence returned, Lucifer went back to reading with no issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few texts that he had time to take from Heaven weren't terribly interesting, but they were a way to preoccupy the mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barely…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucifer looked up at the servant who had entered his quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cambion is a low-level kind of demon, usually born between the union of a human and a sex demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They aren't very well respected in… any part of hell really.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your dinner has been prepared for-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quiet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucifer held up his hand and stared into the nothingness in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of actual surprise formed on his face that was swiftly followed by one of amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Set a few more plates, dog.
